A day after his resounding victory in Iowa and ahead of a crucial contest in New Hampshire, Donald Trump appeared in a civil court in New York on Tuesday, where he is being sued for the second time by writer E. Jean Carroll.

On Thursday, Trump (77 years old), who is considered the frontrunner in the Republican Party primaries after an easy win in the Iowa caucus, announced his intention to attend and personally defend himself in the courtroom.

Trump arrived at the court, covered in snow, in a black limousine convoy, a sight New York had not seen in 700 days.

He sat at the defense table alongside his legal team, facing the prosecution.

The session was dedicated to selecting a nine-person civil jury.
